kirillk e0bfed308c fix: harden Kilo CLI shutdown and prevent orphaned processes
Confirm process-tree exit after SIGKILL on the non-Windows kill path, and
escalate SIGTERM to SIGKILL on the shutdown-hook (no-wait) path so a
SIGTERM-ignoring tree is not orphaned on JVM exit. Deflake the process-tree
kill test by capturing both children deterministically and add coverage for
the no-wait escalation.

Make JetBrains IDE app-close teardown non-blocking: send SIGTERM and return,
letting the JVM shutdown hook confirm exit, so quitting the IDE no longer
stalls the EDT for up to several seconds. Stop plugin-unload teardown from
waiting on the lifecycle mutex behind an in-flight download.

Add a parent-death watchdog to `kilo serve`: the VS Code extension and
JetBrains plugin pass their PID via KILO_PARENT_PID and the server exits when
that process disappears, covering hard client kills where no signal or
shutdown hook runs.
